Our Purpose
| The purpose of Faith Baptist Church is to continue the work of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:1). Another way of saying this is that "Our mission is the Great Commission" (Matthew 28:18-20). We want to reach people for Christ and teach them to follow Christ.
We do this by following the pattern of the first church found in Acts 2:42-47. |
